The Groat Market is an old street in Newcastle's city centre. The Meat Stack burger bar at Nos 41-43 has an interesting history. Originally it was probably an 18th century building, greatly modified in the 19th and 20th centuries . The present front probably dates to 1928, and the shop front is recent. For almost 130 years, from 1879-2007, this was the premises of George Rye and Sons, who made and sold shoes. Mostly gentleman's leather ones. After they closed, it became a betting shop for a few years and then the burger bar.
